From ancient times people associated the fossils with jewels that were set inside the heads of toads. The toad has poison glands in its skin, so it was naturally assumed that they carried their own antidote and that this took the form of a magical stone.

The SI unit of elastance is the reciprocal farad (F). The term daraf is sometimes used for this unit, but it is not approved by SI and its use is discouraged. The term is formed by writing farad backwards, in much the same way as the unit mho (unit of conductance, also not approved by SI) is formed by writing ohm backwards.

Tonic immobility has been hypothesized to occur in humans undergoing intense trauma, including sexual assault. While "freezing" in response to life-threatening situations is well-known, the common "freeze" response exhibited by victims of rape is often misunderstood as passive consent.[18][19][20]

why do you think that’s appropriate for this thread

Honestly it's because I thought it was very tasteless and dumb of Wikipedia to put that under the "Tonic immobility" section of "Apparent death" article, between rabbits and sharks. I should've mentioned the placement, I apologize

My secret favorite worthless wikipedia page is the page for the tropical leatherleaf slug, which was obviously filled out by someone who loved their pancake-shaped pet

quote:

What this slug eats in the wild is not known. In captivity this slug will eat:

Dandelion leaves
Tomatoes - it nibbles the skin first and then the pulp
cucumber
apples
spinach
carrot
When other items are not available, it will eat dill
In captivity it will not eat:

grapes

ith the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Christian priests used the name "Supay" to refer to the Christian Devil. However, unlike Europeans in relation to the Christian Devil, "the indigenous people did not repudiate Supay but, being scared of him, they invoked him and begged him not to harm them".[1]

Kuchisake-Onna, as told commonly, was a beautiful, young woman that lived in a village of Japan. She would roam around the village, and ask the folks, "Am I pretty?", to which they would reply with an enthusiastic "yes". This made her very confident in herself, and as she was married to an intelligent samurai, she believed that she would be able to get away with an affair with a noble soldier. But her husband found out, and in anger, asked the soldier, "Why her? Why my lady rather than all other women of the village?", to which he replied, "For she is the most beautiful of the village, I cannot pass up such an opportunity." The samurai adored his honesty and acknowledged that he had the right response and reason. The soldier was poor after all, and had not had many positive things occur in his life.

not worthless, the "India poisoned its vultures with diclofenac and then had a massive problem with carrion and wild dogs that caused a public health crisis" story is interesting and hosed up

interesting! due to the lack of any citation i assumed it was more in the vein of „please start using different painkillers on your pets because when they inevitably escape and their corpses are picked clean the vultures suffer”
